Courtney and Emily are all in this together for this nostalgic discussion of Disney Channel and Ashley Spencer's book, "Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire." The Disney Channel was falling behind in children's programming in the 1990s until they discovered the tween market and launch millennial defining television programs such as Lizzie McGuire, That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, High School Musical, the Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Camp Rock, and Wizards of Waverly Place. But while tweens were eagerly consuming media, music, and merchandise, a lot was happening behind the scenes. High school is a formative time in an adolescent's life and 2000-2012 were Disney Channel's high school years as the network and its stars tried to find their identity.
